Recently Sulzer Orthopedics recalled over 17,500 defective hip
implants due to a lubricant residue on the implants that prevents
bonding to bone. As a result 1000's of these hip implants are failing &
patients are forced to undergo new hip implant surgeries. If you have
been notified that your Sulzer hip implant has been recalled, it is very
important that you obtain legal advice to protect your rights and get
your claim filed immediately. CALL FOR A FREE CONSULTATION.
